FutureEverything is proud to announce the release of a new audio commission by Berlin-based sound artist Flora Yin-Wong, documenting the journey of its pioneering Nature Directed initiative and the Working Group sessions. Nature Directed is a ground-breaking model that brings Nature on to FutureEverything’s Board and makes it an active participant and a guiding presence in everything we do. Our Working Group sessions were a convening of a global team of change-makers and creatives in art, environmental law, Indigenous knowledge systems, multispecies justice, technology, and decolonial practice.
At its heart, Nature Directed asks what it means to attune to and collaborate with Nature (the Web of Life) as organisations, communities and as individuals. This includes addressing complex questions – from who speaks for Nature and how, to how we interpret the myriad ways in which Nature “speaks itself” and how we find a balance between human and more-than-human interests. The sound piece offers a way into the considerations.
